AHey guys, so I have this great chocolate cupcake recipe that's moist and dense !! But I was curious can I change my unsweetened cocoa to dark cocoa? And do I put as much as I would for the unsweetened cocoa for the recipe?

Dark cocoa or true black cocoa is heavily dutched, they say it's best to use half dark and half unsweetened in a recipe, the intense flavor might prove to much for some if you use it by itself. Think oreo cookies on steroids. I love King Authur's black cocoa for sinfully dark baked products. I add a teaspoon of it to every recipe calling for unsweetened cocoa.

 

You might have to make adjustments to your recipe if you use dark or black cocoa this site might help.
